The study further affirms the importance of convening leaders of Hispanic and Latino communities to explore the future of an economic force that represents <span class=\"xn-money\">$2.3 trillion<\/span> of annual U.S. GDP, as Hispanics and Latinos launch more new businesses, achieve higher levels of education and reach the C-suite of Fortune 500 companies in greater numbers. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m optimistic that the value of America&#8217;s Hispanic community will continue to be recognized by citizens of all walks of life,&#8221; <span class=\"xn-person\">Romo Edelman<\/span> said, &#8220;but as our organization&#8217;s work has shown, much work is needed to dispel misperceptions and to unify this community of 55 million that is so important to America&#8217;s future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s time for perceptions to catch up with the many significant contributions we&#8217;re making to this country,&#8221; said Men\u00e9ndez-Camb\u00f3 of Greenberg Traurig. &#8220;There is an urgent need for the Hispanic Community to unify its strengths and efforts to unlock its potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Summit sponsors include Greenberg Traurig, Ulta Beauty, Dairy Management, Inc., HARMAN, Aflac, the Alumni Society, Chevron, Cultura Colectiva, Hispanic Executive, Western Union and Zeno Group <i>(Sponsorship opportunities are still available).<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This Summit is in coordination with the Latino Impact Summit on <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 11-12, 2018<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>About We Are All Human<br \/><\/u><\/b><i>We Are All Human is a foundation dedicated to advancing the agenda of equity, diversity and inclusion.\u00a0 Its mission is to unify all people and create channels of access that will leave no one behind.
